# Presenting Conference Talks: From Paper to Slides
Generate conference presentation slides from a compiled research paper. Produces both **Beamer LaTeX PDF** (for polished typesetting) and **editable PPTX** (for last-minute adjustments), with speaker notes and an optional talk script.
## When to Use This Skill
| Scenario | Use This Skill | Use Other Skills Instead |
|----------|---------------|--------------------------|
| Preparing oral/spotlight/poster-talk slides | ✅ | |
| Generating Beamer PDF + PPTX from paper | ✅ | |
| Speaker notes and talk script | ✅ | |
| Writing the paper itself | | ml-paper-writing |
| Structuring a systems paper | | systems-paper-writing |
| Creating publication-quality plots | | academic-plotting |
**Attribution**: This skill's structure draws inspiration from the ARIS paper-slides skill (570 lines, supporting poster/spotlight/oral/invited with Beamer+PPTX). This is an independent implementation for the AI-Research-SKILLs ecosystem.

## Talk Types and Slide Counts
| Talk Type | Duration | Slides | Content Depth |
|-----------|----------|--------|---------------|
| poster-talk | 3–5 min | 5–8 | Problem + key result only |
| spotlight | 5–8 min | 8–12 | Problem + approach + key results |
| oral | 15–20 min | 15–22 | Full story with evaluation highlights |
| invited | 30–45 min | 25–40 | Deep dive with context and demos |
**Rule of thumb**: ~1 slide per minute for oral, ~1.5 slides per minute for spotlight.
